Consumer Description

PRIUS WILL NOT STAY IN GEAR, KEEPS POPPING BACK INTO NEUTRAL. FIRST HAPPENED WHEN STATIONARY --- PRESS POWER BUTTON, "READY" ON THE DASH, GO TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE AND IT POPS BACK INTO NEUTRAL. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK (NO IDEA WHY?) THEN WHEN DRIVING, AGAIN, IT POPPED INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS!!!
